    Title ShortWho Would Jesus Execute?: The State of the Death Penalty in the US in 2026
    Venue UMC
    Experience DescriptionIn 2025, there were 47 executions...the most executions for a quarter of a century. Nevertheless, the death penalty is dying across the country. So why does it persist as a form of punishment...particularly in the Bible Belt? Join Rev. Hillary Taylor, Executive Director of South Carolinians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (SCADP), for a conversation about the current state of the death penalty: who supports it, where it's being used, why its abolition matters, and what you can do to help abolish it. Come prepared to learn about the theology behind the death penalty, it's cost, how it impacts victims, and what alternatives exist.
